I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games.

Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?

I don't apologize for anything. When I make a mistake, I take the blame and go on from there. I just despise to lose, and that has taken a man of mediocre ability and made a pretty good coach out of him.

The only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.
